yess, a concerned mommy, indeed!

My husband’s mom and some relatives have been travelling to different Asian countries for two years now.   It sort of becomes an opportunity for them since the Cebu Pacific Airlines started giving away promos.  They went to Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia. I always wanted to come with them, but only to realize that I still have classes or the promo ticket was over, and I don’t want to spend too much for a ticket.  A month ago they told me that they bought airline tickets bound to Hongkong next month (yeah, that early). That’s how the promo works you have to buy the ticket a month or even months ahead before the actual flight.  My mother-in-law kept on insisting that I should come this time since I already missed a lot.  At first, I felt hesitant and unsure since I’ve already been to Hongkong, and besides the tickets aren’t in promo anymore. I checked the internet, and the ticket price is getting higher each day. I thought I have to decide right away.  Since I would really like to bond with my in-laws to get closer with them, I think that this outing would be an ideal opportunity.  The picture of it made me feel excited as I imagine the places we went the last time I was in there.  The shopping specifically got me really thrilled.  So immediately I bought a ticket.

Right now, two weeks before the flight and I am not feeling excited anymore.  I didn’t realize that we will be there for six days. Six days? That’s too long.  What will happen to my kids?  Oh I’m becoming so worried.  I don’t trust our helpers and never will be.  Of course my husband would be there but he will not be at home during office hours and sometimes he has too much work that will make him so busy.  Aside from that, my kids are very attached to me. They will surely look for me especially during bedtime. I’m thinking of asking any close relative to stay in our house, just for the days while I’m away with the kids, but whom?  Oh god! I hope I could find one or else I wouldn’t enjoy my vacation and instead I’ll be worried sick.  So keeping my fingers crossed and hope there’s a sympathetic, kind relative who would be willing to take time to look after my kids. I would deeply appreciate it.

below are some of my photos from my last year's trip to HK.

              

p.s. we were only there for 3 days that's why it wasn't that hard for me when i left my kids.

Lovely new things

(My new babies, so excited to take these to Download and Sonisphere Festivals)

 The first three with tons of icing and chocolate are for Jack! Sorry! Haha

 A bit more prim and proper: 

But I want to achieve this:

We heart it 

HI everyone! I hope you have had a good week so far! I have been busying revising, but as some of my older followers know we have the builders in at the moment and one has a terrible habit of singing really loud! So you can imagine how hard it is to work! I would much rather be blogging but exams won't pass on their own! 

Here are a few things going on in my life: New shoes! These Rocket dog boots arrived in the post yesterday after i completely forgot I even ordered them! I love it when that happens! They are so perfect for all the festivals coming up because as some of you know I like heavier music than most and therefore need closed in shoes for jumping around, head banging, running out of mosh pits and getting my toes trodden on by huge tattooed guys! Its all fun really! I can not wait to go, I am already planning outfits for it! WHAT?! Its moths away! haha

Also been a baking fanatic this past week, every opportunity I have had I bake cakes! I am slowly getting better at not burning them and decorating them! I wish I could share them with all of you! 

On a completely new not, I want you ideas and input for this blog! I have allot in the pipeline for the blog :) which I will tell you about nearer to the date. But I want to hear what you want to see more of, Outfit posts? Inspiration? I was thinking of either doing a look into my wardrobe and room (I always love nosing around other peoples rooms) or a make up review of all my magical products? Any ideas are welcome, put them in the comments.

Speak soon! Jess

 Spotlight by Warehouse dress, Miss selfridge heels,

Topshop Jacket, Accessorize bag.

Various jewelry. 

For me nothing beats a wedding! These were taken on Saturday night at the reception which was so much fun! Lots of dancing and eating good food! It was actually very hard to convince my photographer (Jack) to sneak off to take these in the gardens! If only you could have seen me in my heels running over grass and hills and sneaking round corners, very James Bond inspired, we may have been a bit drunk! 

This outfit was actually only bought hours before when we went to brighton for a couple of hours! I really have got to stop buying new clothes at every given opportunity! 

I bought a new mascara, Max Factor Experience and i have to say i love it! Im really awful with mascara's and am really fussy about the brush but this is just perfect for me. I only needed two coats of the stuff saturday night and it really curls your eyelashes! If you are looking for  a new mascara try this! 


I hope you all had a fab weekend! I have a busy week of revision this week!

THUNDER OVER LOUISVILLE FINAL PREPARATIONS FOR 4-16-11

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Thunder crews are busy with last-minute fireworks preparations for Saturday's Thunder Over Louisville.
Work on the show actually began last year.

The barges are set up with a combination of the fireworks everyone loves, with some new ones thrown in the mix.


It's another year of Thunder with another thunderous fireworks show sure to impress.


"We're putting tens of thousands of shells up into the air to give us that effect we all expect, that thunder power we're really trying to get, and it will be there," said Zambelli Fireworks President Doug Taylor.


The Pennsylvania-based fireworks company has been wowing the waterfront since the early 1990s.


"They're putting on a show. This is entertainment. Our group is just excited to be here every year," Taylor said.


Taylor said even with this year's weather problems, all systems are a go. Forecasted rain and a swollen Ohio River may impact the air show and boaters, who are being asked to stay off the water.


"The main reason for that is a lot of the hazardous conditions that are on the water such as high water, swift current, debris and the 40 degree temperatures can create navigation problems for inexperienced boaters," said United States Coast Guard Cmdr. Derek Schade.


But the show must go on.


As work continues to get everything ready for Thunder Over Louisville, the Second Street bridge has already been shut down in preparation for that massive fireworks show Saturday night.


They're some of the final preparations in the final hours leading up to one of the largest fireworks shows in the country.


"The sponsors and community welcomes us every year and we have a great time being here. We're going to give you that good show again," Taylor said.


The fireworks show will last nearly 30 minutes.


Taylor said the grand finale will be nothing short of that.


He said 6,000 to 7,000 shells of fireworks will shoot up in the air during the last 45 seconds of the show.
